Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ The Lynching Game (part 1)

Later that night, Jagger led the group into the depths of a communication facility located at the Northern coast of the Hudson Bay. Barely a few personnel were stationed at the facility, thus all the vacant empty spaces were renovated to accommodate VIP visitors in case of emergency.

As Kadyn fell asleep during the trip, Jagger had laid her to rest inside her room. However, as soon as he exited her room, he was confronted by the rest of Kadyn's team. At first, Jagger prepared himself to fight thinking his cover had been blown but Senju suddenly bent down and showed his respect toward him.

[Senju] - "Mike-san, please teach us to be better fighters. So far, we have been quite lacking in combat capability and power since we had to figure everything out ourselves. Me and my friends, we sincerely ask if you could instruct us in the proper ways of a true cyberknight. "

Said Senju on behalf of his team.

Jagger thought for a second as he looked at Senju with pity in his eyes.

"What a bunch of pathetic worms! Who do you think you are to waste my precious time like this? However, considering how idiotic and easy to manipulate those fools are, I think it wouldn't hurt to teach them a thing or two. These buffoons could serve me loyally in the future if they do become strong enough. "

Thought Jagger as a smile appeared on his face.

[Jagger] - "Heh! Why not? Since you'll be protecting my wife, I suppose it's only a fair trade that I teach you people a thing or two. "

[Senju] - "Thank you, Mike-Sensei! We will learn and improve under your guidance! "

The rest of the team looked at each other before also saluting Jagger out of gratitude and respect.

[Jagger] - "For now, I have some important business to take care of concerning the people who attacked you. So, since it's quite late, have a good sleep. We'll do some training tomorrow. "

[Senju] - "Ay! Good night to you too, Sensei! "

As both groups went their separate ways, McCree, CK and Audrey began to whisper to each other while walking behind Senju.

[McCree] - "Seriously, this guy. The amount of excessive formality he puts is starting to get on my nerves. "

Whispered McCree with a hand covering his mouth.

[CK] - "I heard they are very formal in Japanese culture. "

[McCree] - "He ain't even fully Japanese. His father is a Chinese guy who married a Japanese woman. "

[Audrey] - "So? You aren't even fully American. Remember when you said your mom is Italian? "

[McCree] - "Ey! I identified as a full-blooded Texan. I ain't one of them pasta-munching, wine-drinking sleek-haired cheese-makers whose national identity is based on changing sides during wars. I'm Texan at heart and I will keep on fightin' for mah state gun-blazing and chugging that whisky in glorious freedom units. "

Said McCree while intentionally making his words ridiculous.

[Senju] - "If I spoke like that about my mom's nationality, I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror. "

[McCree] - "I mean no disrespect toward my momma, of course, her cooking is the damn best in the whole of Texas. "

Said McCree as he moved forward to lean his arm against Senju's shoulder.

Upon seeing the two men talking about their family,

[Audrey] - "What would I do to see my mom one more time. "
